Rentmix Makes Sure You Never Have to Stay in a Scummy Hotel when Traveling You don't have to book a bargain-basement hotel when you head out of the house on vacation or for the holidays. We've discussed before how you should book apartments or houses to get lots of space for little money, but new webapp Rentmix makes it easy to find available rentals in the area you're visiting so you can book ahead of time.

Rentmix aggregates listings from services like AirBnB, HomeAway, FlipKey, and other short-term rental sevices and puts them all on a Google Map so you can see how far away from events and other landmarks each listing is. For example, if you're traveling for a specific convention, you can see which houses and apartments for rent are available close to the convention center, instead of fighting all of the other attendees for hotel rooms. Just give Rentmix the dates of your trip, your budget for a rental, and how many bedrooms you need. The webapp will do the rest.

Have you rented an apartment or condo when traveling instead of spending on a hotel? Share your experiences in the comments below.
